Things are looking up for free agent Trevor Levis. Last week, Lewis was still looking to sign a new deal for the 2021 season as an unrestricted free agent and finally, the 33-year-old forward agreed to a professional tryout (PTO) contract with the Winnipeg Jets. 

It got better on Wednesday, the first day of the 2021 season, when it was reported, first by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, that the veteran forward impressed at camp while on his PTO and finalized a one-year contract worth under $1M.


Talk about things coming together at the last minute. The Jets’ season opener takes place Thursday night against the Calgary Flames. 

Lewis spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Kings. He was selected in the first round, 17th overall by the Kings back in 2006 and played 674 games in their uniform. He put up a total of 70 gaols and 163 points during his time with Los Angeles, where he also hoisted the Stanley Cup twice, in 2012 and 2014. 

He gets another shot now with the Jets, who have been looking for depth to ensure a better playoff run this season. He could certainly bring a great veteran presence and leadership role in the Jets’ dressing room now that he’s cracked the roster just in time for the start of the season.
